[42]
here's the latest the latest is that
[44]
just a few days ago our government
[47]
issued a proposal to change the rules as
[51]
it relates to fee waivers what is a fee
[55]
waiver a fee waiver is that I nine one
[58]
two right application that you would
[61]
submit along with any other applications
[64]
or petitions to seek a waiver of those
[68]
very expensive immigration fees now not
[70]
all immigration petitions would allow
[73]
you to waive the fee for example if
[76]
you're petitioning for your family for a
[78]
green card right and you file that I 130
[81]
you cannot obtain a fee waiver on that
[84]
one but other applications and petitions
[87]
do allow you to waive the fee such as
[90]
the i-90 right if you're applying to
[93]
replace your lost green card or if
[95]
you're seeking naturalization you would
[97]
file that n400 those will allow you to
[101]
waive the fee and those fees are pretty
[103]
expensive right there hi okay so under
[107]
this proposed change our government is
[111]
now saying if you've received food
[114]
stamps SSI cash assistance Medicaid
[119]
we're not going to look at that evidence
[123]
alone to determine whether we should
[126]
waive the fee or not as a matter of fact
[129]
we're taking that off the table and
[131]
there are only two things that
[133]
we will look at now the first is whether
[135]
your income is at or below the federal
[138]
poverty guidelines or your going through
[140]
financial hardships so friends what's
[144]
happening here our government is taking
[146]
a very very thoughtful look at all of
[150]
these immigration policies and they're
[153]
saying we're going to keep this one
[155]
we're going to get rid of that one we're
[157]
going to overhaul this and they are
[158]
making a lot of changes which is why I'm
[161]
always in front of you talking about
[163]
what's being changed so this is just one
[167]
of the more recent ones now this is a
[169]
rule making process this is not in
[173]
effect yet the public has 60 days 60
[178]
days to respond to these types of
[180]
changes and so if you'd like to respond
[184]
to this change you can just do a Google
[185]
search for Federal Register I dash nine
[191]
one two and it will pull up that
[193]
announcement and it will give you the
[195]
instructions on how you can submit
[197]
online your comments about rules like
[200]
this one okay go ahead and find this
[203]
Federal Register on Google and comment
[206]
but for now in summary what's happening
[209]
is if you've received food stamps
[211]
Medicaid any of those welfare benefits
[214]
SSI cash assistance
[217]
you cannot say to the US government
[219]
because I've received those benefits I
[222]
am now eligible for this fee waiver and
[225]
I don't have to pay this fee no not
[228]
anymore
[228]
only if your income is at or below the
[231]
federal poverty guideline or if you are
[235]
going through financial hardships on
[238]
USCIS s website there is a table that
[241]
will tell you what the federal poverty
[244]
guideline income is and it's actually
[248]
based on your household size for example
[250]
if your household size is made up of
[254]
three people your income in order to be
[257]
eligible for fee waiver for example your
[259]
income must be thirty one thousand one
[261]
hundred and seventy dollars or below
[264]
this okay if your household size is made
[266]
up of
[266]
five people okay your income must be
[269]
forty-four thousand one hundred and
[271]
thirty dollars or below that okay it
[274]
cannot be forty five thousand in order
[277]
for you to be eligible for a fee waiver
[278]
okay or if you're seeking a fee waiver
[281]
on the basis of financial hardship know
[284]
that you must submit a lot of evidence a
[287]
lot of documents to the government to
[289]
prove that you're going through
[290]
financial hardship so that's the latest
[293]
